Does that depend on the antenna (and location) being "good" and both coaxes being good-enough so that the receiver always has a good signal? Alternatively, if the signal is good, you can't tell the difference in a few db of attenuation. But suppose the antenna location isn't good. How can I tell if it is good-enough? Or how can I compare location A with location B? The best I have been able to come up requires two identical receivers. You can verify that they are identical, or at least close enough, by running them from a single antenna with a splitter. I haven't gotten past that. Assuming you had a not-good antenna, is there any numerical scale that would be useful to describe its goodness? -- These are my opinions. I hate spam.
